geography
Most of the TERRA.vita nature park and the Holperdorper valley extend north of Lienen . The Westerbecker Berg in the Teutoburg Forest is 236 m above sea level, the highest point in the Tecklenburger Land and the highest within the Münsterland districts. The Münsterland parkland opens up to the southwest . The road to the Holperdorp farmers runs with a serpentine between the Aldruper and Lienener Berg at a height of approx. 202 m over the ridge of the Teutoburg Forest. A small part of the 206-meter-high Langenberg is still in the Holperdorp farming community, but for the most part in neighboring Lower Saxony in the Bad Iburg area .

Community structure
The municipality of Lienen consists of the districts of Lienen and Kattenvenne as well as the rural communities outside Holperdorp in the north of the Teutoburg Forest, Dorfbauer, Aldrup, Westerbeck, Höste, Holzhausen and Meckelwege in the south.
history
The community was first mentioned in 1088 as Lina . Lina means something like place on the slope of the mountain or hill village in the Teutoburg Forest.
"Lienen: Lynon in the 12th century. From lina, the hillside."
In 1965 "1000 years of Lienen district" was celebrated. The basis for this was a "documentary mention" of the community from the year 965 in relation to the Grafentafel , a striking rock in the northwest of the Holperdorper valley.
Up until the 20th century, the community was shaped by agriculture. In the period from the 17th to the 19th century, the peasant household linen industry supplemented agricultural income.
From 1832 onwards, triggered by the collapse of the household linen industry in the Napoleonic era and the overpopulation that occurred, an emigration movement to North America began. This only ended with the beginning of the industrial revolution. During this time, the construction of the lime works in Höste and the improved traffic development through a railway line triggered the first commercial and industrial impulses. Until the district reform in 1975 Lienen belonged to the Tecklenburg district with the town of Tecklenburg as the district town.
Incorporations

Natural monuments
- Duvensteine in Holperdorp
On the north side of the Holperdorper valley there is a ridge made of sandstone. In some places this sandstone comes to the surface and forms towering rock formations, including the Duvensteine. According to Lienen local history research, the name of the stone formation, which probably only emerged in the late Middle Ages, should refer to an earlier cult site for the worship of gods. There are no indications for this interpretation, mainly because the place was named “St.” until the Reformation as a station of a Christian corridor procession. Johanns Rasten ”and was only then renamed Duvensteine . There are various theories about the origin of the name.

The Lienen volunteer fire brigade organizes the Bombeiros Show Night at irregular intervals . The first fire and water revue took place as early as 1950 : water features with colored lighting that move to the beat of well-known songs. The four-day event is organized and carried out by comrades from the volunteer fire brigade. Under Festival Nights , the Lienen volunteer fire brigade celebrated its 100th anniversary in 2009 with a big party. The organizational and voluntary effort in 2009 to also carry out the fire-water revue in the form of the Bombeiros Show Night would have been too great, so that Bombeiros was initially planned for 2010.
